Description

It was dawn before I fell asleep; and later in the morning I was only half-awake as I fed a fresh sheet of paper into the typewriter and began to copy the notes from the previous day out of my book. But I wasnt too weary to type the date line firmly as if Id been writing date lines all my life:from the front at iwo jima march 5--Then I remembered and added two words.under fire--They looked great.In 1965; Wisconsin native Georgette "Dickey" Chapelle became the first female American war correspondent to be killed in action. Now; "Dickey Chapelle Under Fire" shares her remarkable story and offers readers the chance to experience Dickeys wide-ranging photography; including several photographs taken during her final patrol in Vietnam.Dickey Chapelle fought to be taken seriously as a war correspondent and broke down gender barriers for future generations of female journalists. She embedded herself with military units on front lines around the globe; including Iwo Jima and Okinawa; the Dominican Republic; and Vietnam. Dickey sometimes risked her life to tell the story--after smuggling aid to refugees fleeing Hungary; she spent almost two months in a Hungarian prison. For twenty-five years; Dickeys photographs graced the pages of "National Geographic;" the "National Observer;" "Life;" and others. Her tenacity; courage; and compassion shine through in her work; highlighting the human impact of war while telling the bigger story beyond the battlefield.In "Dickey Chapelle Under Fire;" the American public can see the world through Dickeys lens for the first time in almost fifty years; with a foreword by Jackie Spinner; former war correspondent for "The Washington Post."
